Bryce Quinlan and Hunt Athalar are trying to get back to normal―they may have saved Crescent City, but with so much upheaval in their lives lately, they mostly want a chance to relax. Slow down. Figure out what the future holds. The Asteri have kept their word so far, leaving Bryce and Hunt alone. But with the rebels chipping away at the Asteri’s power, the threat the rulers pose is growing. As Bryce, Hunt, and their friends get pulled into the rebels’ plans, the choice becomes clear: stay silent while others are oppressed, or fight for what’s right. And they’ve never been very good at staying silent. In this sexy, action-packed sequel to the #1 bestseller House of Earth and Blood, Sarah J. Maas weaves a captivating story of a world about to explode―and the people who will do anything to save it.

A lush, tropical island on an icy planet makes no sense. Then again, not much makes sense anymore after waking up and finding myself not in bed but on a strange world populated by aliens. Since that moment, I’ve learned that nothing is normal anymore and I’ve got to roll with the punches. I can handle this, though. I’m strong and capable. So… washed up on a tropical island? Got it handled. Separated from the others in my group? Handled. Stranded alone with a brutal but delicious alien man that can’t speak English but has great… ahem… body language? Yup, handled. Add in the fact that my cootie – a symbiont I need to survive – has chosen my big, hulking alien friend as my fated mate? Let’s just say that the situation isn’t the only thing that’s going to be handled. But it isn’t long before I learn that the tropical island paradise is a death trap and we’re all in grave danger, aliens and humans alike. To survive this, I'll need my tempting guy to give me a hand with the situation… good thing he's got four of them. This romance features all of the adventure, humor and community you’ve come to expect in the Ice Planet Barbarians series, but it stands on its own. You do not need to read the other series (or be caught up) in order to read LAUREN'S BARBARIAN.

Butcher & Blackbird meets My Roommate is a Vampire by way of Fargo in a fresh and funny paranormal-horror rom-com about a woman who unwittingly becomes a vampire and her mortician husband who helps out when the bodies start piling up; thus rekindling their relationship. Francesca Sikorski wasn’t planning on becoming a vampire, but she doesn’t exactly regret it either. When a car accident on a snowy highway cracks her amber mosquito pendant open like a cursed Cadbury Egg, she's bitten by an ancient mosquito that saves her from bleeding out on the street but leaves her sun-sensitive, ravenous, and slightly more murder-y than before. So sure, there’s an adjustment to be made. But on the plus side, her chronic pain and dead bedroom are things of the past! Alex Sikorski would do anything to rescue his rocky marriage, but now that his wife's undead, they have new problems to navigate in couple's therapy—like hiding bodies, stealing blood from corpses, and figuring out whether his wife might be a literal monster… or finally just herself again. Between covering up a kill or two (okay, three), Alex and Francesca certainly have their work cut out for them. They’re determined to make this marriage work, even as their marital vow of “till death do us part” loses its previous relevance. But as more drained bodies pile up around their sleepy northern town of Helsing Bay—bodies Francesca swears she had nothing to do with—they must neutralize the rival vampire she's accidentally unleashed on the neighborhood. A big question still remains for Alex and Francesca—what kind of life can they build together now that one of them is dead?
